Slides covers the basics natively. It imports .pptx files, exports to PowerPoint and PDF, has tables, and ships with a chart tool for simple bar and line charts. A plugin earns its place when it brings content in (icons, photos, mockups, animation) or gets the deck out in a form the native export loses, like animation or tracking. Every pick below declares the Slides editor in our catalog.

- Icons from every open-source set — Iconify
- Data slides beyond the native chart tool — Chart

1. Iconify
by Vjacheslav Trushkin
4.6M users34KFreeBest forIcons from every open-source set
Iconify puts every popular open-source icon set behind one search box and drops the result in as a vector. It is the most-used plugin in our catalog at 4.6M users, six of our sixteen sources recommend it, and it runs in Slides, Design and FigJam. The only thing it lacks is illustrations.
Pros
- + Free, 4.6M users
- + Every major icon set in one search
- + Updated August 2026
Cons
- − Icons only
- − Mixed sets look inconsistent on one slide
- 2

2. Chart
by Chart Plugin
427K users5KFree + paid featuresBest forData slides beyond the native chart tool
Chart builds twenty chart types as editable layers, with styling controls. It is our pick for any data slide the native chart tool cannot draw, such as scatter, radar or stacked area. Free for the basic set, with in-app purchases for the larger one.
Pros
- + Editable layers, not images
- + Runs in Design and Slides
- + 427K users
Cons
- − In-app purchases for the full chart set
- − Data entry is manual or CSV
- 3

3. Pitchdeck Presentation Studio
by Hypermatic
502K users6KFree + paid featuresBest forPowerPoint export that keeps fidelity
Pitchdeck Presentation Studio turns a deck into animated slides or exports to PowerPoint and PDF with more fidelity than the native export. Three sources list it, and it is the plugin we use when the deck will be presented from PowerPoint by someone else. The free tier watermarks or limits exports.
Pros
- + Better .pptx fidelity than native
- + Animated deck export
- + Updated September 2026
Cons
- − In-app purchases for clean exports
- − Export takes a minute on big decks
- 4

4. Unsplash
by Unsplash
3.8M users33KFreeBest forFull-bleed photos without a stock login
Unsplash inserts free high-resolution photos straight into a frame. Eleven of our sixteen sources recommend it, more than any other plugin, and at 3.8M users it is the second most-used plugin in our catalog. It has not shipped since September 2024, but the search and insert still work in Slides.
Pros
- + Free, no account
- + Recommended by 11 of 16 sources
Cons
- − Last version September 2024
- − Search is keyword only, no colour filters
- 5

5. Icons8
by Icons8 Team
2.3M users9.7KFree + paid featuresBest forIllustrations and photos in one search
Icons8 is one search box for icons, illustrations and photos, with 2.3M users and three sources behind it. It is the plugin we open when a deck needs an illustration style that matches across ten slides. The free tier requires attribution on some assets.
Pros
- + Icons, illustrations and photos together
- + Updated August 2026
Cons
- − In-app purchases to drop attribution
- − Illustration packs are paid
- 6

6. LottieFiles
by LottieFiles
1M users15KFreeBest forMotion on a title slide
LottieFiles adds a Lottie animation to a slide and previews it in place. Five sources recommend it, it is free, and it is the simplest way to put motion on a title slide without leaving Figma. Exports to PowerPoint flatten it, so keep the moving version for presenting from Figma.
Pros
- + Free, 1.0M users
- + Previews in place
- + Runs in Design, Slides and FigJam
Cons
- − Lost on PowerPoint export
- − Library search favours generic loops
- 7

7. Jitter
by Jitter
533K users12KFreeBest forAnimating a product screen for video
Jitter animates Figma frames and exports video, GIF or Lottie. We use it for the one slide that needs a real product animation rather than a static screenshot. Free, and the export lands back on the slide as a video.
Pros
- + Video, GIF and Lottie export
- + Free
- + 533K users
Cons
- − Editing happens in Jitter's own app
- − Last version May 2026
- 8

8. Artboard Mockups and Animations
by Artboard Studio
965K users9.3KFree + paid featuresBest forDevice mockups inside the deck
Artboard Mockups and Animations wraps a screenshot in a phone, laptop or branded object directly in Slides. It is the fastest route from a product screen to a product slide. Free for a starter set, with in-app purchases for the larger library.
Pros
- + Runs in Slides directly
- + 965K users, updated September 2026
Cons
- − In-app purchases for most scenes
- − Large mockups slow the file
- 9

9. Mockuuups Studio
by Mockuuups
627K users5.9KFree + paid featuresBest forLifestyle scene mockups
Mockuuups Studio has over 5,000 scenes and overlaps with Artboard Mockups. We keep both because their styles differ and a deck sometimes needs a lifestyle photo rather than a clean device. Three sources list it.
Pros
- + 5,000+ scenes
- + Runs in Slides
Cons
- − In-app purchases for most scenes
- − Last version March 2026
- 10

10. Stark
by Stark
597K users10KFreeBest forContrast checks on a deck
Stark checks colour contrast and typography against WCAG and runs in Slides, which most accessibility plugins do not. Six sources recommend it, and a deck that will be projected in a bright room needs the check more than a UI does. The free tier covers contrast.
Pros
- + Runs in Slides
- + Free contrast checks
- + Updated September 2026
Cons
- − Paid tier for full audits
- − Vision simulation is paid
- 11

11. pdf.to.design
by divRIOTS
245K users2.7KFreeBest forImporting an old PDF deck as layers
pdf.to.design converts a PDF into editable Figma layers, and it runs in Slides. It suits rebuilding a legacy deck that only survives as a PDF export. Free, from the html.to.design team, and the conversion runs locally.
Pros
- + Free
- + Editable text and vectors, not images
- + Updated September 2026
Cons
- − Fonts must be installed to match
- − Dense PDFs come back as many small layers
- 12

12. FeatPaper—Tracking & Decks ·Interactive PDFs
by FeatPaper
43K users911FreeBest forTrackable links for pitch decks
FeatPaper exports a deck as an interactive PDF or a trackable link and shows who opened it and which pages they lingered on. Niche, but for pitch and sales decks it answers the question everyone asks after sending. Free, with 43K users.
Pros
- + View tracking per page
- + Free
- + Updated August 2026
Cons
- − Small community at 43K users
- − Tracking needs the viewer to open the link, not the PDF
How we chose
We built a source table from sixteen roundups and forum threads, then filtered it to plugins that declare the Slides editor in our catalog, since a plugin that only runs in Design is no use in a deck. Picks had to ship a version in the last 12 months, with Unsplash the one exception because eleven sources recommend it and nothing free replaces it. The order is how often we open each one while building a deck.
Pick by role
- Presenting from Figma: Iconify, Unsplash, LottieFiles and Jitter. Motion stays intact.
- Handing the deck to PowerPoint: Pitchdeck Presentation Studio for the export, Chart for data that must stay editable. Our Figma to PowerPoint guide covers the native route and what it loses.
- Sales and pitch decks: Artboard Mockups or Mockuuups for the product slide, FeatPaper to see who read it.
- Rebuilding an old deck: pdf.to.design to import it, Stark to check contrast before it goes out.
Popular plugins we left out
- IconScout (1.2M users) and Streamline (469K) both run in Slides, but IconScout last shipped in May 2025 and Streamline in February 2025.
- Vectary (801K) for 3D last shipped in July 2024.
- Phosphor Icons (322K, July 2024) and 3dicons (239K, June 2025) are covered by Iconify's search.
- Table Creator (827K) is excellent, but it only declares the Design editor, so it will not appear in a deck's plugin menu.
- GIF Export (316K) is maintained and costs $10, but Jitter exports GIF for free.
What Slides does natively
- Import and export: open .pptx files, and export to .pptx or PDF. Fonts PowerPoint lacks are substituted and gradients flatten to solid fills, which is why Pitchdeck Presentation Studio is on the list.
- Tables and charts: native tables, and a chart tool for bar, line, donut and a few other types. Our charts guide shows where it stops and a plugin starts.
- Presenting: present mode, speaker notes, and audience reactions and polls on paid plans.
Frequently asked questions
Can I run any Figma plugin in Figma Slides?
No. A plugin has to declare the Slides editor in its manifest, so only a share of Community plugins work there. The full list is on the Figma Slides plugins page.
What is the best chart plugin for Figma Slides?
Chart, with 427K users. It builds 20 chart types as editable layers and runs in both Design and Slides. Charts+ is a smaller free alternative that also declares Slides.
How do I export a Figma Slides deck to PowerPoint?
Use the native export to .pptx from the file menu. If the export loses gradients or fonts, Pitchdeck Presentation Studio exports with better fidelity and can also produce an animated deck.
Are Figma Slides plugins free?
Seven of our 12 picks list as free with no in-app purchases: Iconify, Unsplash, LottieFiles, Jitter, Stark, pdf.to.design and FeatPaper. Chart, Pitchdeck, Icons8 and the two mockup plugins bill inside the plugin for the larger libraries.
Can I add animation to Figma Slides?
Yes. LottieFiles drops in a Lottie loop and Jitter animates your own frames to video or GIF. Both play when presenting from Figma; PowerPoint export flattens them to a still.
What is the most-used plugin that works in Figma Slides?
Iconify, with 4.6M users, followed by Unsplash (3.8M) and Icons8 (2.3M). All three declare the Slides editor.
